Al-Zaydi warns factions to disarm by October 1
The Iraqi government, headed by Prime Minister Ali Al-Zaidi, has begun preparations to inventory the weapons possessed by the Iran-backed armed factions. It has given them until September 30th to comply and surrender their weapons, amid increasing U.S. pressure on Baghdad to regulate these groups. Al-Zaidi confirmed that Iraq is making progress on this issue, and negotiations with Iran are ongoing to assist Baghdad in cataloging the weapons of the factions stationed in Iraq. This is especially urgent given that escalating regional tensions since the beginning of the year have intensified the pressure on the government to take control of unofficial weapons.
